I consulted with my surgeon, who only uses Sientra implants. The surgeon said I can get away with going bigger because “I’m petite with a long torso”. 565cc Sientra HP are 14cm :/... is that too big for me?? My BWD is 11.5cm, I’m 5’7, 34A, 2 kids, 135lbs.
Answer: Choose the size you want The answer is based on what you desire. If you want a natural, full looking breast, The 385-440 cc Sientra HPs will serve you well. 565cc is a very aggressive augmentation, and will test your tissue, considering that you have a small tissue envelope (A cup). It is likely technically possible to place these large implants, but I would not recommend it. Since Sientra only provides implants to board certified plastic surgeons, you have obviously done your home work, and are in good hands. Best Wishes

Answer: Hard to say- you'd need a consult | Breast Implants | Augmentation | Lift | Fat Grafting | Aesthetic Plastic Surgery | Expert Hello and thank you for your question. Honestly, a formal in-person evaluation would be needed to determine the best treatment. There are several reasons for this: 1) Bra sizes vary based on the clothing store (for example, Victoria's Secret tends to upsize everyone by a whole cup size) 2) Most women do not wear the proper exact fitting bra size for their bodies 3) The exact volume (in cc) needed to change cup size is different for different body types (e.g. 32A to 32D requires a different implant size than 38A to 38D) 4) Be careful NOT to fall into the trap most women do- they see a certain implant size (e.g. 285 cc) or perhaps their friend had a certain size, and they want or request this or another size based on that. Everyone's body is different- 285 cc implants on your friend might look VERY different than they would on you. Be very careful not to make this mistake, because the goal is to find the right size and shape for YOU- for your particular body and your breasts. Because of those multiple factors, and because it is KEY to fully evaluate your breasts in person to make a full set of precise measurements to select the proper implant for you (incorporating factors like amount of breast tissue, implant type, base width, projection, etc), answering your question really would need a formal personalized consultation- to say anything before that would simply be guessing, which would be both unfair and unhelpful to you. Also, just FYI, each surgeon's measurements are slightly different, so numbers, experience, and overall aesthetic from one surgeon aren't necessarily the same as those from another surgeon! Your breasts are such a KEY area of your body and your femininity- therefore, you should ONLY trust an experienced aesthetic plastic surgeon. As such an expert, I have had extensive training and experience with complex aesthetic surgeries under a multiple world-renowned experts in the field. I’d recommend for you to setup a formal consultation with me (or another plastic surgeon who is extremely comfortable with aesthetic plastic surgery procedures) for a formal consultation to thoroughly discuss your surgical goals, undergo a formal examination, evaluate all your options (surgical and nonsurgical), and decide on the best procedure(s) and type of anesthesia for your specific case. I hope this helps! Dr. Donald Groves Aesthetic Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Depends on breast width and Soft Tissue Whether or not those implants will fit will depend on not only the base width of the breast but also the amount of stretched skin in the breasts. If there is a good amount of stretched skin, then the implant will fill the pocket nicely. This is typical in women who have already had children or breastfed. If there is not much tissue laxity, then implants of that size can look constricted and unnatural. I would speak with your surgeon about your concerns and ask for a sizing session with sizers if you are uncomfortable with the recommended sizes.

Answer: Breast Implant Sizing Thank you for your question. When it comes to breast augmentation, oftentimes your surgeon will allow you to "try on" different implant sizes prior to your procedure. They will have you place the implant within a bra, and then try on a tight fitting shirt to mimic the appearance of your breasts post-operatively. I recommend speaking with your plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns and for evaluation.

Answer: Implant Size Your ideal size should have a diameter or width less than your breast width. If it is the same or larger you run the risks of too much tissue stretch, thinning, rippling and sagging that can be difficult to correct. You can look at the other manufacturers to see what the largest high profile implant would be in a narrower width, if you are trying to go as big as you can safely. I would recommend more consultations with board certified plastic surgeons. Hope that helps.
